Attributes

• radius optional

An attribute to control the 'border-radius' of the card.

Platform specific options

Android

• elevation optional

An attribute to set the elevation of the card. This will increase the 'drop-shadow' of the card. There can be some performance impact when using a very high elevation value.

• ripple optional

Set to 'true' to show a ripple when the card is tapped. Tap event handlers in the card content will prevent the ripple.

iOS

• shadowOffsetWidth optional

An attribute to offset the x position of the shadow behind the card.

• shadowOffsetHeight optional

An attribute to offset the y position of the shadow behind the card.

• shadowColor optional

An attribute to set the color of the shadow behind the card.

• shadowOpacity optional

An attribute to set the opacity of the shadow behind the card.

• shadowRadius optional

An attribute to set the radius of the shadow (shadow spread) behind the card.

The default values are set to:

radius = 2;
shadowOffsetWidth = 0;
shadowOffsetHeight = 2;
shadowColor = new Color('#000').ios
shadowOpacity = 0.4;
shadowRadius = 1;
